[Matplotlib-users] Interactive mode broken in Qt4Agg backend?

[Yannick C. <yan...@la...>]

Hi,

I used to make animated figures generated with scripts similar to the 
one attached. It works fine with GTKAgg backend, but does not work with 
QT4Agg one: the figure just flashes at the end of the animation!

Is it a bug in Qt4Agg, or an unimplemented feature? Is there any way 
other than switching back to GTKAgg specifically?

Cheers,

Yannick

PS: I now about the recent Animation module, but I don't want to update 
all my scripts to this new framework.

just a follow-up and conclusion: I create a matplotlib issue for this
(https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1646), and the use of
pyplot.pause in place of pyplot.draw seems to help.

Cheers,
